You have a great chance to have the best hand here but it is unlikely to improve. A big reraise would make you pot commited so I would push, because I am probably getting the best value for my money here on this street. I do not want to wait until a 7, 8, 9 or a high card that could pair his kicker comes up. If he draws to a gutshot or a better two pair, he should pay for it.

close but should be a push at the 60's against an unknown.

I'd push I guess.

It would be a more interesting hand vs a good player though.

i pushed and felt a little dubious about it. i got called by a9, which is my best case scenario and i'm only 74%. i don't see anything else i could've done though.

Shove, but I'm not crazy over it.
